Unit 014
Maintain and Support Relationships with children and Young People Outcome1:
Be able to communicate with children and young people.
Assessment Criteria
The learner can: Communicate with children and young people in a way that is appropriate to the individual, using both conventional language and body language. There are two ways of communicating with children and young people , conventional and body languages , communication may be formal (adult-led activity) or informal (playtime or social situations). In order to communicate appropriately with any child or young people I need to show that I understand them. Using my body language; eye contact to make sure that I am at their level, try not to invade their space, avoid communication barrier, and ensure that children with communication issues can see my face. Actively listen to children and young people and value what they say, experience and feel. People notice that a child or young person is not concentrating on what adults or elderly people are saying. Perhaps, that the children or young people don't show a sign to show that they are really thinking about what they are saying to them. For me to show that I am listening actively to the child I should stop what I am doing and get down to their eye level and make eye contact. This ensures the child that I'm actively listening. I should also focus on what they are saying especially if they have a difficult time trying to express themselves and aid them. By responding to the child, they acknowledge that I have been listening. I can reflect on what they said or ask them open questions to find out more information. Check that children and young people understand what is communicated. Young children understand more then they can express themselves and can follow simple instructions (easier accomplished with a gesture such as pointing). They learn new words before they can use sentence by listening carefully and copying. I can test the child to make sure they understand what has been said by asking open questions. For a better result, I need to use the child's age as a starting point to estimate their level of understanding; offer children the information they need in a way appropriate to their level of understanding; and constantly check children's understanding by asking them if they can tell or show me something they have heard.

...﻿SupportChildren and Young People's Health and Safety
Outcome 1
1) When planning for youngpeople you need to take several factors into account to make sure the environment and services are safe. The first factor is the individual needs, ages and abilities of the children and youngpeople. This requires you to work out staff to children ratio’s to make sure there is legally enough staff for the number of children present and to ensure all children will have supervision. Ratio numbers will vary depending on the age of the children. You should also make sure that the environment both inside and outside caters for all different abilities, making sure there are not steps up to any entrances or doors in and around the setting, that clear walk ways can be seen through the setting to avoid any accidents and to meet the needs of any children with any disability. Children of different abilities may require one to one time with a member of staff to ensure they are always safe, for example in my setting a child has visual impairment which means he has a trained member of staff to support him whilst he is in the setting.
Another factor you need to consider is specific risks to individuals such as pregnancy or impairments. My setting has a child with mild autism, a...

Support positive attachments for children and young​​ people.
Outcome 1- Understand the importance of positive attachment for the well being of children and youngpeople
1 summarise theories of attachment
Attachment is a deep and enduring emotional bond that connects one person to another across time and space (Ainsworth, 1973; Bowlby, 1969).
So what are the attachment theories focusing on? Attachment theory is focused on the relationships and bonds between people, particularly long-term relationships including those between a parent and child and between romantic partners. In my line of work, I have to focus on the parental and child attachment rather than the romantic partner one.
Bowlby (the creator and psychologist that researched into attachment theories) believed that the attachment that a child has from a young age affects how they will be when they are grown up. He came up with 3 different categories: secure attachment, ambivalent attachment, and avoidant attachment.
Secure attachment- where a child shows distress when the care giver leaves them and shows obvious joy on their return.
Ambivalent attachment- when the care giver leaves, the child is also distressed, but once they return, the child does not settle and in some cases, the child might passively reject the parent by refusing comfort, or may...

Assignment 1
Assessment criteria 2.1, 2.2, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4
Introduction
The principles of relationship building with children and adults in any context are that if others are comfortable in our company, they will be more likely to communicate effectively. Where people do not get along or are suspicious of one another, the tendency is that they will avoid one another whenever possible and so reduce opportunities to develop relationships.
Assessment criteria 2.1
Explain how to establish respectful, professional relationships with adults
When working with other adults an environment of mutual support and openness needs to be established and maintained. It is essential to be supportive and courteous with adults. Information must be kept in confidence (which demonstrates trustworthiness). By being attentive, enthusiastic and approachable, a respectful, professional relationship can be created. Active listening and communicating appropriately will also contribute to a positive relationship.
In summary, it is imperative to remain professional in the school environment and when communicating with other practioners in contact with school. Treat others with respect. Notice the efforts and achievements of...

At Roseberry Primary School we seek to encourage a calm, purposeful and happy atmosphere where good relationships exist within a caring environment where all children are the opportunity to achieve their potential.
Children are encouraged to develop independence and self-discipline in order to enable them to accept responsibility for their behaviour.
A consistent approach to behaviour amongst the school community ensures that all pupils, staff and parents work to a common goal based on mutual respect and understanding of others.
At Roseberry we are careful to distinguish between the child and their unacceptable behaviour. We ensure that all children understand they have a part to play when making choices about their actions.
Rewarding good behaviour
The basis of our reward system is the acknowledge of good behaviour. We seek to inspire children to achieve high standards of discipline and academic achievement by praise, encouragement and positive reinforcement of good behaviour. This is achieved in a number of ways:
